During my deload I wasn't eating as much, and towards the last few days I seemed to just drop some puffiness, probably some fat but mostly water. I weighed in light the last two days. It was like my body just flushed itself. It isn't probably too noticeable to others, but to me, I look jacked in comparison, the drying out brought out details in my delts and other areas that were starting to soften with fat/water. It was a neat feeling, made me feel that I am staying lean while gaining this weight.

No, I don't get sick from deadlifts.

Now squats on the other hand, especially higher rep sets, those sometimes get me nauseated.

Quad-dominant deadlift day.....sounds like an oxy moron. But until I can squat pain free, that will be what I attempt to do by supersetting leg extensions with snatch grip deadlift. I am going to sound redundant, but I had so much success staying away from barbell bench and OH pressing until the pain was gone, and now I can do those exercises pain free, that I really feel avoiding squats is in my best interest right now.

I felt like I got hit by a train in the morning, typical for a morning after a deadlift day. I worked out regardless, but I think that it may be more beneficial to do what I did that past few weeks which was sleep in the day after deadlifts and attempt to double up workload at the lunch workout.

I didn't eat enough during last weekend's home improvement, focused on working, not eating, dropped 6 pounds. I am an idiot. Been weighing in light after that.
